Abstract

World Wide Web (WWW) resources are used by various users around the World for different purposes with varying requirements. In engineering colleges, Internet is mainly used for academic purposes by students and professors. During a day, different academic Websites (AC) are visited several times by students with different level of knowledge and requirements. In this paper, we propose a requirement or usage based social network (SN) community creation among these users by analyzing their Internet usage patterns. One of the main advantages of creating this SN community is to exchange knowledge and provides an easy way for connecting weak students with other students and professors to solve their problems.
